Chapter 218: Auntie’s Nightmare
Chapter 218
"Let's go! Let's see the scene for ourselves!" one of the younger ones spoke in a commanding voice that carried authority.
The Wei household suddenly became lively.
When the armed special police entered, for a moment, the entire Wei household thought they were coming to arrest them, but then they remembered they had never broken any laws in the country and had even done plenty of charity work!
Looking around again, they saw Xiao Ya being carried in.
They finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"We'll be taking temporary custody of them," the young man said to Wei Wenqing.
Wei Wenqing nodded repeatedly, having no objections.
The nuns clearly knew they were in serious trouble.
Being detained by the Hua Country authorities, and in such a major case... if they didn't die, they'd still be severely punished! They'd never see the sun again in this lifetime!
"I-I don't know what they did, I'm not with them, I was employed by Mr. Rong! I just followed them to sneak in and deal with Wei Wenyi!" one of the nuns frantically shouted, surprisingly in the language of Hua Country.
Presumably afraid others wouldn't understand.
Xiao Ya quickly recalled what Wei Lin had said to the board of directors when he was arrested: "Why don't we talk about how the second young lady went mad?"
"Mr. Rong... is he from the board of directors?" Xiao Ya asked the nun.
The nun nodded desperately, "Yes, yes! I really have nothing to do with these things, I was only employed by Mr. Rong..."
Faced with such a life-threatening situation, she preferred to confess everything.
Wei Wenqing suddenly rushed forward and grabbed the nun.
The nun wasn't particularly frightened.
Looking at these armed officers, then at Wei Wenqing's refined face, she actually felt more at ease.
The young man with epaulettes pondered for a moment, then said, "We'll take them all in first. We have professional interrogators, and those involved in other incidents will be separated later."
The nun didn't want to go with them and hurriedly shouted, "I-I can tell you everything, no need for interrogation, I'll tell you everything, everything!"
Wei Wenqing's eyes were filled with hatred and sorrow.
Everyone had thought it was because of losing Wenyu that his second sister couldn't cope and went mad.
He and his brother thought they would have to wait who knows how long to investigate and catch the culprits within the board of directors...
Yet unexpectedly, in such an unexpected and almost ridiculous way... the other party surrendered themselves!
Wei Wenqing bit his lip hard, then looked pleadingly at Xiao Ya.
Xiao Ya was the driving force and discoverer in this incident, with Old Mr. Zhang backing her.
To keep this nun here, to quickly get answers from her... Wei Wenqing couldn't wait another moment!
He needed Xiao Ya to speak up now.
Xiao Ya, her small face tightened with anger and her fingers clenched, immediately looked up at the young man and asked, "Uncle, can we question her now?"
"Yes, would three hours be enough? We'll keep watch here." The young man seemed quite accommodating.
Wei Wenqing's phone made a sound: "That's enough, thank you."
The nun said tremblingly, "You'll need to come with me to where we were staying..."
Sheng Yuxiao spoke up: "Lead the way."
The nun broke free from her restraints, breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly stood up to walk in front, though her legs were still shaking uncontrollably.
Previously, these clergy members had all been arranged to stay on the second floor.
"When we moved around unusually, the people downstairs could quickly notice. We knew the old master was wary of us. I was ordered by Mr. Rong, he wanted the second young lady to die completely... but that was very difficult to achieve. Drugs, incense... we tried everything."
"But all these would leave traces, and it would be hard to escape the old master's eyes."
"They used sacred statues to hide things... that's when I thought of using the statues to achieve our goal."
The nun spoke tremblingly.
The assistant looked repeatedly: "How to achieve it?"
He couldn't see how.
He instinctively wanted to look at his boss, but then remembered his boss was still at the hospital waiting for Ms. Xu to visit.
The nun spoke again: "Wait... wait until it gets darker."
Fortunately, after all the commotion today, it was already nearly dusk.
Everyone waited patiently in the room.
As the night grew deeper.
The nun asked shakily, "Could you bring some of those sacred statues up here?"
Wei Wenqing looked at the bodyguard, who immediately complied.
The nun arranged the statues one by one.
They had different poses and sizes.
After arranging the statues, she placed candlesticks in front of them, inserted candles, and finally, the flames shot up as the candles were lit.
The nun opened the window and placed... a piece of cardboard?
"You can... go downstairs to look now," the nun's voice trembled even more.
Xiao Ya was carried downstairs.
Except for the police who remained on the second floor, everyone else followed downstairs.
In an instant, everyone was struck speechless.
They saw countless giant projections of "gods" cast on one wall.
The shadows took various poses, appearing fierce and menacing.
Because they couldn't reproduce the expressions of the statues and only projected their poses, they appeared utterly terrifying.
"...Pinhole imaging," Sheng Yuxiao spoke, "By controlling the distance between the pinhole and the light source, you can control the size of the projection."
The larger the projection, the closer it would appear to people's eyes.
When these shadows gradually "approached," the psychological pressure they created was undoubtedly enormous.
"The projections are inverted," the assistant mumbled, feeling his sanity rapidly depleting.
The more inverted they were, the more they deviated from normal human perception.
So at the moment of seeing them, one would involuntarily feel an intense sense of fear.
"Is aunt's room behind that wall?" Xiao Ya immediately asked the servant.
The servant said, "No." The servant raised their arm, pointing tremblingly to the side: "It's over there... From there, you can see the projections more clearly."
Just through such simple means.
Readily available cardboard, sacred statues fitting for clergy members, yet they created such a massive nightmare.
A nightmare that repeated day after day.
Wei Wenqing rushed back upstairs and violently knocked over the statues.
Compared to Wei Wenjuan, his temperament was actually much better.
But even such a gentle person now forcefully pushed the nun toward the window sill.
Aliali: 673ebb12c4f3f33ac4eea08cThe woman's neck was pressed against the window frame, one more push and it would snap...
The nun screamed in terror.
The servant mumbled, "Everyone knew the second young lady hated having people or things in her line of sight at night. Her room was specially renovated, and all curtains were removed because those curtains moving in the wind would make her imagine even more terrifying things."
But without curtains, without people.
When the projections appeared in her world, must she have felt immense loneliness and helplessness?
Xiao Ya suddenly broke free from the military uncle's embrace.
She ran down.
They had been wrong!
The more people worried about disturbing auntie, the further they stayed away from her, abandoning her alone in the depths of terror.
"Young miss!" the servant hurried to chase after her, "Where are you going? Are you going to see the second young lady? No, no, we must wait for the psychologist to come first, we need to analyze before taking any next steps!"
